1/23/200850:33
What is ecological economics? Dr. Robert Costanza, an internationally renowned ecological economist, presents an overview. He explains the key concepts of ecological economics - notably, how ecosystems and their functions provide vital goods and services that directly benefit people, and how the valuation of ecosystem services in dollar terms gives critical economic justification for ecological sustainability. He also discusses how the framework of ecological economics promotes and sustains human health and well-being.
